Puget Sound Energy power outage maps reported more than 32,000 families were without power."It’s the Whatcom, Skagit, Island, Pierce and Thurston counties that we’re seeing a good amount of those outages in," said PSE spokesperson Gerald Tracy.Tracy told FOX 13 Seattle crews are working nonstop to get everyone’s lights back on."Our crews have been working since early this morning," said Tracy.
